A Knight's Quest/Chapter One/Pick up the stricken man and ask where the town's healer is.

From Create Your Own Story

You reach down, hauling the wounded man into your arms, then stand. You cast your gaze over the assembled townsfolk and demand to know where the town's healer is located.

A man points outside. "In the church opposite. You'll find the priestess in there."

You thank him, then barge your way outside. The stricken man mumbles and groans incoherently in your arms. "The dead... coming..."

The church is obvious, the symbols of all the major deities displayed proudly on the outside. Even in the rapidly-failing evening light you can make them out clearly. You stride towards it, pushing open the heavy doors with one strong arm and carry the man inside.

You call out, and soon a figure rushes into view. A very sexy female figure. Clearly the priestess here, the woman is raven-haired, blue eyed and stacked. Not that you have time to ogle her. Her eyes open wide as she sees the man in your arms, and she rushes towards you, takes a look at him, then runs into a side room.

"Bring him in here!" you hear her call seconds later, and you find her throwing blankets onto a bed. She urges you to put him down on top of them.

You do, and instantly she's fussing over him, smoothing his brow. You feel a crackle of energy in the air and know that she's chanelling divine magic.

She seems utterly distracted by helping the man, and you wonder whether you're just in the way.
